Report #38073

[gotcha] What is the safe dose of cold medicine alongside Tylenol?

Explicitly warn against stacking multi-symptom cold medications with acetaminophen due to additive hepatotoxicity. Maximum adult dose is 4g/day \(2g/day if liver impairment or alcohol use\).

Journey Context:
Agents often calculate doses for individual drugs without cross-referencing active ingredients in OTC multi-symptom meds. Users silently overdose on acetaminophen, which is the leading cause of acute liver failure. The trap is assuming 'cold medicine' and 'painkiller' are distinct chemical classes.
